'18

as kids we were told to
reach for the stars
dream as high as the sky
where rainbow resides
as vast as the blue sea
where greatness unveils

we were told to be happy
we were told to be crazy
we were told to dream insanely
we were told to design our own future

restless nights from the thrill
from the adrenaline
imagining what the future will bring
the tears of joy
and blasts of celebrations

where did it all go?
when did everything start to go wrong?
why is my adrenaline not pumping anymore?

fear
fear of disappointments
fear of time
fear of risks
fear of failing
fear of endless pit
reality

look just a little deeper
look just a little simpler
spark your sparks
be fear not
it's okay to dream big like you used to
it's okay to imagine like you used to
it's okay to be happy like you used to.

(inspired by The Greatest Showman)

irony and its closure

The defense of the self, The denial of the mind, The pain of the heart, And the battlefield inside. Pointing out a statement from Charles Lindbergh, "Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about the most?" It's not okay when you try to not feel. It's okay when you try to feel. It's not okay when you try to not think. It's okay when you try to think. Oh dear, you're thinking too much About trying to not think the thing you're thinking. Maybe we would all be better if we face ourselves head-on. Yes, ourselves. No bigger obstacle than dealing with something you call 'myself'. No bigger energy wasted than to lie to someone you call 'myself'.  The hardest thing to be in touch with, in life, is your own self and all its substances. You live in a world where it's much simpler to ignore your thoughts and feelings for the sake of your emotional stability. Or so you thought. But just so you know. It...
